. 5 The general object of my invention is to provide a. novel needle forthe indicated purpose which can be produced cheaply and whereby'thethreading of the needle isfacilitated and a form given the needle toadapt it for useas an advertising novelty.

' More specifically, the invention has for its object to form needlesfrom a flat metal strip;

' Reference is to be had to the accompany- 1 ing drawings forming apartof this specification, it being understood that the drawings are merelyillustrative of one example of the invention.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a threaded needle formed in accordancewith my invention; 7

Figure 2 is a plan view 'of the needle somewhat enlarged;

Figure 3 is a longitudinal vertical section onthe line 33 of Figure 2. r

In practice the needle is formed with a flat body 10 the front end ofwhich is tapered to provide a point 11.

The rear end of the needle is formed with concave flanges 12 at thesides, said flanges convergent toward the extreme rear end of the needleto produce an eye 13 through which a sewing cord 14 may be passedrearwardly. In practice, after the cord has been passed rearward'lythrough the eye 13 y a suitable knot as at 15 is formed in the cordwhich knot wedges in the needle beneath the convergent flanges 12. i IThe making of the needle from a flat strip of metal in the mannerdescribed lends 40 itself to quantity production. The flat sides a ofthe body '10 are adapted in practice to rejceive any suitableadvertisement.

I would state furthermore that while the illustrated example constitutesa practical embodiment of -my'invention, I do not limit myself strictlyto the exact details herein illustrated, since, manifestly, the same canbe considerably varied without departure from the spirit of theinvention.

7 Having thus described my invention, I claim: :7 or As a new article ofmanufacture a needle formed of a flat body having one end pointed andhaving its longitudinal edges at the other end curved upwardly andinward- 1y to form flanges, saidv flanges meeting at the end of the bodyto form an eye andthen diverging continuously from their point ofmeeting to the edges of the body forming a tapering passage with a V-shaped opening in its top, whereby the. threading of the needle isfacilitated and a surface free from abrupt projections is imparted tothe needle to facilitate its passage through the fabric being sewedoscoe c.
